Ok i have read the other posts about this, i know i need an external SMTP host or send my ID to 110mb to get sendmail turned on. I have tried my ISPs SMTP server (smtp.MY_ISP.com) and it worked, then stopped, i uploaded SMTP.php and tried to connect to my ISPs SMTP server via outlook (i can connect via out look) So i tried yahoo.com.au but thats not working. I also tried smtp.hotpop.com but same thing, nothing. I checked and yes the port is 25 for all 3 i tried, I am using a username and password. I still cant get it working any ideas?


EDIT: RESOLVED, just use smtp.google.com NO USER OR PASS!

u need to verify ur account.

Shadow, shhhhhhhhhh

h-nation when you tried yahoo.com.au did you fill in details correctly?
host: smtp.mail.yahoo.com.au
username: ACCOUNTNAME (without yahoo.com.au)
password: pass used to get in to yahoo.com.au
port: 25

also did you check the box that said use smtp for sendmail

[shadow]

it may be a new version of phpBB, but I didnt know u can fill in ur SMTP details.
Or is it just me being ignorant.

i think he wants to mass mail a group of people, but cant because he didnt verify  his account :/

[hhsweb]

smtp is completely apart from phpsendmail anyways yes newer versions of phpbb do let you put login details for smtp i should know i beta tested phpbb3 olympus.

btw shadow you are not ignorant just need to pay attention to the rest of the forum

I am using phpbb 2.0.21 i have the following settings for my SMTP config on phpbb:

HOST: smtp.mailyahoo.com.au
Username: www.hnation
Password: Wouldnt you like to know

I HAVE verified my e-mail and have been using it for about 3 weeks now

Here is the error i get:

Code:

Could not connect to smtp host : 111 : Connection refused

DEBUG MODE

Line : 112
File : smtp.php

i just check yahoo.com.au and i think this may help lol:

Server Settings
Incoming Mail Server (POP3):    pop.mail.yahoo.com.au
Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP):    smtp.mail.yahoo.com.au

using SMTP port 587
Account Name/Username:    www.hnation
Email address:    www.hnation[ @ ] yahoo.com.au
Password:    Your Yahoo!7 Mail password

ok now im getting this:

Code:

Could not connect to smtp host : 110 : Connection timed out

DEBUG MODE

Line : 112
File : smtp.php

Any ideas?

[andre]

Ok hold on. I'm getting that too...

[andre]

Damn. Looks like yahoo's SMTP service can no longer be used on phpBB forum because it's using port 587, while phpBB is assuming it's port 25. So unless someone seems on phpBB forum on how to change the port via coding, that'll be great.

www.hotpop.com also doesn't work with phpBB2 forum. Ok let me do a little more testing on other services...

There is a phpbb mod that allows you to define another smtp port.

kk, hope you can find a service that lets us use SMTP (WITHOUT pay extra, seriously why would i pay to access SMTP and POP3 remotely?)

As for this mode, its easy to install, but sadly doesnt work on phpbb2.0.21

[h-nation]

I have contacted phpBB and they said that if you edit line 110 in smtp.php and change the 25 to PORT then it will work (i have tried this to no avail) they also said that using this syntax: "SMTP.HOST.COM:PORT" but i have tried this to an avail :/

i just completed setup my phpBB2

i put the admin email : XXXX@gmail.com
wanna use smtp as sender? : yes
smtp server : smtp.google.com

password : blank

then it should be done

better use gmail as your smtp server..
coz it was really great and fast..just try it...
if you need the invitation..i can sent it for you..just pm to my ur email add

[funuser]

hey andre, not sure if this is related but you mentioned that phpbb2 can't use yahoo smtp server because it uses port 25.
well i'm using the smf forum on mine. and i've got port set to 587 and i'm sure i've used the correct account details. this is the error i get.

Could not connect to SMTP host: 110 : Connection timed out
2: fsockopen() [<a href='function.fsockopen'>function.fsockopen</a>]: unable to connect to smtp.mail.yahoo.com.au:587 (Connection timed out)

hope it helps for the team in diagnosing the problem.
Thanks

phpBB2 also suffer the same problem... operation timed out

edit:
look what i found : http://www.unlimitedmail.net/

brief data you want to know:

1. smtp username : your account name with the prefixes
2. smtp password : your account pass
3. smtp host/server : smtp.unlimitedmail.org

the steps is as follows
register an account > login > create a "new" mail address .. then adjust your phpBB2 forum.. and walla ~
